Early said, 1912" and General Beaure-
gard arose and said in a clear and distinct
tone, $4,000" and a murmur passed
through the audience. Who was the
lucky holder?
The wheels were turned, to thoroughly
mix the tubes, after drawing twenty num-
bers, and the boys were changed at the
end of every sixty numbers.
| The drawing is somewhat n monotonous
affair, and lasted uutil 3 o'clock-four
hours of diligent work. dit1using happiness
and wealth over the nation. The audience
was evidently interested solely in the
grand capital prize, and when ticket
81, d4l won 5000, and So, 794 brought
some happy holder 81, 600 mere there was
not a murmur, but soOn a change came
upon the assemblage. General Early said
mo. 81, 400" General BeauregaId slowly
arose and deliberately announced: $50
OOO.". A spontaneous applause went mp, a
good-luck wish to the happy holder. So
the work went along until No. 80, ia Won
the grand prize of $3.50, 200. That ended
the interest on the part of the audience,
which quickly dispersed, leaving the Com
missiOners alone to complete the work. No
one who saw the lottery drawn would
question the honesty of the Commissioners.
No one who has seen the handful of prizes
sitting alongside of the twenty bushels
Of numbers, representing the possibilities
of winning, would wonder wheth-
er the lottery was honestly drawn. Still
there might have been fraud in the large
wheel and to satisfy himself in that respect
the Chronicle reporter proposed TO ascertain
if the full 100, 900 numbers we're in the
wheel. As soon as the drawing was over
the control of the wheel was passed over to
him. One hundred of the tubes were
counted out ut a time until a thousand
had been counted. These were weighed
and on the basis thus secured the contents
of the wheel were weighed and found to be
correct to the weight of u hair. 1t salts
fed the investigator beyond q doubt that
not n single number in the 100, 900 was
missing at the drawing, simply confirming
his previous impression.
FORTUNES FAvORITE.
There was no question as to the fairness
and honesty of the drawings. When the
tubes had been weighed they were returned
to bags, sealed by the Commissioners, and
by them locked up. The prizes and num-
bere were verified to-day by Generals Early
and Beauregard, and then published and
mailed to the ti~cket-holders. To-day there
has been 4 constant stream of lucky hold
ers pouring in and ont of the office, getting
their money. Those at n distance send
their tickets for collection through the
banks or express companies. To
test the efficiency of the c~learical
department of the concern, the writer
asked where the $4,000 prize had been
sold, and was promptly informed, AT

With the audience it was different. AnX-

The ladies filled the boxes and the balcony
and leaned forward in their eagerness to
catch the numbers as they werearnounced.
They seemed TO forget everything about
them. One clergyman was present and
the audience included all classes OF
people. As General Early announced
the first number, 1907, a hush
fell upon the audience. General Beaure-
gard turned his wheel, and The boy having

and especially to student of human na-
ture. The house was fairly filled, many
of those present being strangers who
wished to satisfy themselves Us to the hon
esty of the drawing. Many, however, had
a personal interest in the result. These
held in their hands lists of their numbers,
which they %anXiOusly scanned rs the
drawing proceeded. No two men could
be in stronger contrast than those who
conducted the drawing. General Bcaure-
uard stands about five feet seven inches;
his associate towers up nearly or quite six
feet. General Beauregard wear n nous

honors of years, while General Early has
a long, flowing beard, which the boys who
campaigned in the Shenandoah will re-
member. 1t, too, gives evidence OF the
hoary steps of advancing years. General
Reauregard has the thoughtful, steady, re-
served features of the engineer, while Gen
eral Early has the air and manners of the
man who welcomes the call to ''hoots and
saddle" Both are much loved and highly
respected here. They have the thorough
confidence of all classes of the
community and are honest beyond

AREcoGNIZED INSTITUTION.

The LEGAL status of The Louisiana State
Lottery is thus clearly and indisputably
established. One cannot long remain i'll
New Orleans without discovering that it is
one OF the recognized institutions of the
city, and one that possesses the fullest con-
idence of the people. Whatever the rest
of the world may think of lotteries, New
Orleans believes in them. Interviews with
the Presidents of the heading banks, mer-
chants and planters, not only proved
this, hut the further fact that these
men have faith in the honesty of the
management ofthe drawiugand the perfect
s~olvency of the institution. Indeed it is
generally asserted that the Louisiana
Lottery is stronger than any hank in the
South, and all the banks cash its prizes at
sight. It's stock, which is regularly
quoted on Change, sells at $3.50. Its par
value is 800. The management comprises
the foremost citizens of Louisiana, tinan-
cially and socially conSidered-men who
are Open-handed, broad and liberal.
C. Kohn, President OF the Ulion Ma
tional Bank, said: Il am not interested
in lotteries in any way, and am opposed
to gambling in any form or guiSe 1t may
take. | do not think gambling should be
encouraged, but if ever an institution de-
served the friendship of a people, The
louisiana State Lottery deserves the friend
ship of the people of this section. 1t has
done, and is constantly doing, 4 great
work for humanity. No one can imagine
the far-reaching charity of that Institution.
Its vaults are always open to the poor and
the needy. 1t is q rich corporation, per-
tectly~ responsible, and conducted with the
s~trictest integrity
J. II. Oglesby, President o fthe Louisiana
National Bank, a conservative, careful
business man, who does not believe III lot
teries, said: The company is thoroughly
responsible, is carefully and honestly con-
Quoted"
A. Baldwin, President of the New Or
leans National Bank, said that the mana
gers of the lottery were thoroughly honest
men, responsible and charitable almost to a
fault.
p. q. Fazende of the banking house OF
Fazende & Seixas, said: There Is no
| stronger or more responsible corporation IN
America than the Louisiana State lottery
Company. The standing of the managers
in the community would preclude the idea
of dishonesty in connection with it. 1t
could not afford to he dishonest. Its very
life depends upon its honesty. 1t is strict
" honest, and has the full confidence of
our people"
These sentiments were expressed by
every prominent mar seen by the Chronicle
reporter, and his interviews covered fifty
different persons, in every walk of
life. Not one man was found who had an
